Because it costs another 6 figures to rig them with something else.

understand it's a money thing, but if you were to go that deep into the price of a boat & still having a mismatch ( hp. to the drives)....is crazy!

Bravo 1 has Helical cut gears

Bravo XR has straight cut gears

The difference between a Bravo XR and a #6 is huge. IMCO SCX fills the void and is a great drive for boats designed to run a Bravo with 600-1000hp.
